HDMI cable- plug into stereo instead of tv?

Can I plug the HDMI cable into my stereo receiver instead of the tv? I ask because the sound quality with the digital optical cable is very poor when I shut off tv and sound only comes out of the speakers? What should i do ??
Thanks

HDMI audio and Minis can be quirky at times.
Have you changed the order of power-up?
I found in my system, I need to power up the TV,
then the receiver, then boot the Mini.
Also, if using some other source and then switching
back to the Mini, I end up in stereo only and have to
reboot the Mini to get surround pass tthrough capability
back.
HDMI audio in general is at times quirky as I have seen
similar comments around and about for all types of
equipment.

Does the New Imac 21 works as an external display using thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable plugged into a MacBook Pro?

I can't get the AirPort extreme to recognize a MagicJack connection. It's an ethernet cable plugged into one of the lan ports and the led won't even light up.

My wireless network is working fine. I have an AirPort extreme hooked to a cable modem and all other devices around the house can get into the network.
However, I am trying to hook up a MagicJack to the AirPort via an ethernet cable without success. The AirPort has 3 lan ports for this kind of purpose. The MagicJack works fine when plugged into my Mac's USB port, but it seems to slow the Mac down too much.
I have tried a new cable, checked that I have power and have rummaged through AirPort Utility, but cannot get the AirPort port to even light up. I've also restarted and rebooted both the AirPort and the cable modem multiple times.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

KiltedTim. You nailed it. I tried the MJ directly into the cable modem and still can't get a phone line. I'll see what MJ can do now.
Thanks and thanks to alanoconner for your help.

Where does the Nokia E63 usb data cable plug into ...

I've been looking at buying one because i hate not being able to transfer pictures etc over to the computer easily.
But i cannot find where the cable is meant to plug into my phone ? Only the micro sd card is the only place. Or do i need to get a card reader for the micro sd card?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The micro USB port is just above the sd card slot on the upper left hand side of the phone.

No power when IDE cable plug into mainboard

The motherboard I'm working with is a K7 Pro ATX IR3 Mainboard. Whenever I plug in the IDE cable to the mainboard, it seemed that there is no power coming from the power supply. I tried this with a cd-rom and the light isn't lit or do anything. As soon as I unplug the IDE cable from the mainboard, the CD-ROM works...meaning I can push the button for open and close. All the lights, HD and Power lights, on the front of the case are not even flashing or turn on.
If anyone has any suggestion I'm greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the confusion. In this situation when I talked about cable, I mean the IDE cable or floppy cable and not the power supply cable. I have one floppy, cd-rom drive, hard drive, sound card, and a video card. I believed the power supply is a 400 watt, although I'm sure. I just purchased this last week so I am pretty it'll handle what I am trying to do. When I turn the computer on these are the things I believed that are running with all three cables one end plugged into the mainboard and the other end to the devices such floppy, hard drive, and cd-rom.

D-LED light is on
Devices that are not runing with all three cables plugged in to the mainboard and the other end to the devices such floppy, hard drive, and cd-rom.

Now, if I unplug all the cables from the mainboard or from the devices then all the devices seem to have power coming to it.

Ethernet Cable Plugged Into Mac Mini, but it says it isn't.

I'm all new to the MacWorld, just got my Mac Mini yesterday. . . .
So I want to create a network between my PC + Mac by direct Ethernet for the Internet and file sharing.
I've got everything done on the PC end, but when I try to get it working on my Mac it says that there is no Ethernet Cable plugged in :S
Any suggestions on what to do?
Mac Mini - Intel Solo Mac OS X (10.4.5)

If I understand you, you have run a cable directly from your pc to your mac. If this is the case, you need to run a crossover cable, not a standard ethernet cable.

My Ipod plug into stereo, some how the stereo not work and burn the battery, its make my ipod can't turn on at all, if I need to repair it how much its cost, do you think?

Hi, I put my Ipod into the stereo, some how the power of the stereo burned out & make my ipod not work anymore. If I plug my ipod into computer its not on and the battery feel very hot, so if I send it out to fix, how much do you think its cost? And how do I check online to see what generation I was bought? I bought it online with Apple. Thanks.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT4241 How do I get an Epson EX5210 to display using the HDMI mini display port adapter so I can see 1080p downloaded movie from iTunes? It won't recognize the display via hdmi cable and adapter!

Please help! I've tried everything to get this dang thing to display a downloaded movie from itunes on my epson EX5210 lcd projector via a HDMI cable plugged into a minidisplay port adapter. I am no expert and have no idea what to do!

It's all in the manual... starting on page 26...
USB seems to work as well. Tried that?
By the way, this dang thing has "only" 768 physical pixels vertically, so "1080p" won't be visible anyway, and scaling will take place. Hope you won't be diappointed. All specs including resolutions here.

Imac streaming to hdtv. Do I leave the cable plugged in?

I'm not sure if I'm asking this quesiton in the right place, but any help would be appreciated.
I have connected my Imac to my hdtv using an hdmi cable through a thunderbolt port. It works great. I only use it occasionally (3-4 times a week) for streaming video from sites like MHZworldview.
My question is- Should I leave the hdmi cable plugged into the computer via the thunderbolt port all the time? Or should I only have it plugged in when its in use?
The hdmi cable is 100 ft., and has an equalizer that stays lit when connected.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You don't have to keep the cable connected when you aren't using your TV as a screen for the iMac, so you can unplug it without any problem, but nothing should happen if you leave it plugged to your TV

HDMI cable compatibility with Computer

Hi, I tried buying a Google Chromecast, it didn't work they said because it's Windows Vista. Then I bought an HDMI cable to connect my TV to my computer, that's what I heard to do. There is no connection to the computer for the HDMI cable. Is that because it's too old? Its about six years old. Will a new computer be compatible?

Laptop or Desktop.
If your computer has HDMI output it should project on the TV.
However, you need to extend your display to the TV.
If your on a laptop there may be a key on the keyboard, often a secondary function of an F# key, that you can press and extend your display.
Or, and I don't know how to get into it on Vista, you need to go into your display properties and extend the display to the TV. Possibly a right click on your desktop.
and I am not certain how display properties look on Vista.
Do this with the hdmi cable plugged into your TV and computer. In display properties if you only see one monitor there should be an option to add a second, Then there should be an option to EXTEND the display. You can either show the same thing on both displays or set it up as a second display.
I know Vista can support this. I installed a GPU with an HDMI output on my fathers computer some years ago so he could watch Netfliix on his TV
Do a Google Search for
about tech display vista
The third hit when I did it is for online-tech-tips and it gives a good simple way to do this with pictures.

Lost power mid update, now I get the plug into iTunes logo

I was doing my update for the Apple TV and my friend tripped on the power cable. After that it only displays the connect to itunes logo but I don't know how to connect it to itunes. Any ideas?

Yes that is needed. Use the microUSB cable alone, no power lead etc.

My iPhone 4S is not charging when plugged into clock radio. What's wrong?

So about a week ago, I docked my iPhone 4S into my Sony ICF-C7iP clock radio as I do every evening before going to bed. I bought this clock radio back in August and have had no problems with it at all. However this time, I noticed my phone was not charging. It didn't make the charging beep nor did it show on the display that it was charging. I tried removing it & re-seating it...nothing. I tried rebooting my phone which resulted in the same problem. When I plug my iPhone into either a standard sync cable or an iPhone dock, it charges/syncs as normal.
Suspecting the problem was with the alarm clock, I contacted Sony support. The clueless support rep on the other line suggested I return the clock in exchange for a refurbished one. For a $60 clock, this was more trouble than it was worth, so I decided against it.
I then decided to purchase an iHome iA9 which was sure to work. I just unpacked it and set it up. When I docked the iPhone on it...you guessed it...nothing. It is still not charging. The funny thing is that the iPhone will play music through the iHome with no problems. I had also tried plugging the iHome into a different outlet with no luck either. I am out of ideas. I am left to assume that for some reason, my phone does no longer like charging when docked on to an alarm clock.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how I can get this to work again? I recently upgraded to iOS 5.1 and honestly don't know if that would have anything to do with it. But the likelihood of 2 completely different clock radios exhibiting the same problem is virtually non-existent.
As mentioned, I tried rebooting the phone with no luck. Docking the phone to a standard charging cable plugged into the wall charges the phone fine. Docking the phone on an iPhone compatable dock charges the phone fine. Is the problem with my phone?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Tim, I was speaking generally. Obviously the iOS upgrade didn't remove the ability to charge on ALL 3rd party devices, else my iH9 wouldn't charge it either.
What I just can't understand is how an old iHome model works just fine with a new iPhone, yet a new iHome model will not. If anything, I would think it would be the other way around.
Anyway, I emailed iHome explaining my situation and I asked if they had planned on releasing a firmware update to fix the problem. I got the typical generic response about unplugging the iHome & removing the batteries for an hour then trying again. And if that doesn't work, send it in for repair in which I would need to pay for the shipping.
If I decide to go that route, I think it's just going to be a waste of time as I would get the iHome back "repaired" and it would have the exact same problem. But I guess I'll never know until I try.
I remember reading on these forums about several others having the same problem. So what are the odds that the iHomes these other people got who are experiencing the same problem are problematic as well? Unless the "repair" iHome is referring to is a firmware update, I don't really buy into this.
